Facebook announced that it is scheduled to add support for filters based on augmented reality technology AR during video calls soon, as the company announced in the virtual F8 developer conference that the company will add this feature for both Instagram and Messenger.

These apps have long offered support for AR effects, but the option to use them for a multiplayer setup during a live game or chat will be new. At F8, the company said it would allow creators to build effects that deliver a coordinated experience across multiple call participants.
